Clumps of probably-sentient, probably-murderous
super-fungus. A vent that looks to have been violently wrenched open. A space
suit with some kind of tentacles growing out of its head-place. And a dead body
off in the distance. Yup, that's where you're supposed to go.

The screen above is from Soma, the
sci-fi horror title coming from Frictional Games, makers of Amnesia: The Dark Descent and the Penumbra games. There's a nice bit of
scene-setting here—even without the 'transcript'
that accompanies it—with visual signifiers that let you know that an
environment where humans lived and worked has been washed over by horror. And
that hallway is gonna take you straight to it.
